Dear Kyle Moffett,
In message 1299519462-25320-1-git-send-email-Kyle.D.Moffett@boeing.com you wrote:
This patchset is designed to produce zero change in behavior *except* for one particular scenario: Platforms which perform a "restart" with a simple jump to the "_start" entrypoint (or similar) will no longer try to do that on panic().
The new functions to be called from generic code are:
int system_restart(void) void emergency_restart(void)
Could you please explain what these functions are supposed to do?
The first few patches set up the generic functions and hooks with a default fallback to the existing "do_reset()" function. Most of the rest are then architecture-specific modifications necessary to convert away from the old do_reset() prototype. The last patch finally does away with that function.
Why do you replace a simple name like "reset" with a more complicated name like "system_restart"?
What is emergency_restart() needed for?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
